Pars Planitis

by carrlyharley, Jul 19, 2009 05:05PM
I was diagnosed with Pars Plinitis at age 9 (I am now 33).  I was just researching the disease a little further and found a connection with Multiple Sclerosis.  I had a few symptoms of MS a few years ago.  Lightheaded, dropping things, balance was off. tingling in right thumb.  My mother was diagnosed with MS approx. 4 years ago.  Anyway, I read that 7% of people with Pars Planitis develope MS.  SHould I request an MRI from my Dr. or am I being paranoid?

THanks for any help.

No there is a connection between PP and MS.  See a neurologist before doing any MRI.
